I also felt Borlock shouldn't have died in the story and that was disheartening though. I like the character Grimbolt but I still prefer my Freda, even though the character lacked in development.

On the other hand, I couldn't agree more about Delvin's characterization. As the main protagonist, I had hoped for a deeper exploration of his personality. While he possessed a sweet and optimistic nature, I felt he lacked depth beyond that. I wish he had been portrayed as more thoughtful and intelligent, making him a more compelling character to follow. Instead, he often seemed to be a step behind, not in a way that involves the reader actively solving the plot, but rather, he felt like a passive observer, merely drifting on the surface of events. This left me feeling consistently disappointed and somewhat bored as the story progressed. I believe a more developed and multidimensional protagonist would have enhanced the overall narrative significantly.
